What is your Favorite Film Quote?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

and

Hooper - "You were on the Indianapolis?"
Brody - "What happened?"
Quint - "Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We'd just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.

Didn't see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin' by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and sometimes that shark he go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away.

Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin' and your hollerin' those sharks come in and... they rip you to pieces.

You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin', Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist.

At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol' fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.

Anyway, we delivered the bomb."

Some of the best acting IMHO

Thank you for putting Quints speech up. This is one of the best speeches in a movie ever.

Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?
 
+1 for Quints speech...i read somewhere that that actor would drink a little before the scenes to give the character a little more realism. very cool...

two quick quotes that came to mind---
"Listen!....Smell something?" -Ghostbusters
"Remember...no matter where you go, there you are" - Buckaroo Bonzai
 
1. " Do or do not, there is no try."

2. " That was without question the most insanely idiotic statement I have ever heard. At no point in that rambling, incoherant mess did you express anything resembling a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
 
The obvious:
"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
"Hit it."
-Blues Brothers

And some not so much:
"To all my friends!
-Barfly

"That night I had a dream..." etc.
-Raising Arizona

"It flies like a truck."
"Good. What is a truck?"
-Buckaroo Banzai, although I could just transcribe that whole movie.

"******** it, I'd **** on a spark plug if I thought it'd do any good!"
-War Games

And I have no idea why. Just perfect in the moment, I guess:
"This isn't a rental car - it's privately owned."
-True Stories
 
From Hannie Caulder

Rufus Clements: I stole a Bible, Emmett. Do you want to read over Frank?

Emmett Clements: You know damn right well I can't read! The hell with him anyway!

Rufus Clements: You shouldn't have done that, Emmett. You're gonna get God mad at us and he's liable to...

Emmett Clements: Shut your damn mouth!

Rufus Clements: Well, I want to say something over Frank!

Emmett Clements: Well, say it and get it the hell over with!

Rufus Clements: All right... Frank... you're dead! Frank... damn if I don't miss you already! -- IMDb Quotes: Hannie Caulder (1971)

Not quite. Shaw drank quite a bit before scenes because he liked to drink.

Reportedly, he was so drunk the first day they shot the "Indianapolis" scene that Spielberg got very little usable footage. Shaw called him early the next morning and asked, "How badly did I embarass myself?" Spielberg diplomatically reassured him that all was well, but that they would have to re-shoot the scene. On the second day Shaw showed up completely sober and nailed it. Some of the "drunk" footage made it into the film, but it's nearly impossible to distinguish the "actually drunk" Shaw from the "sober but acting like he's a bit drunk" Shaw; in my opinion, that's a testament to the man's skill as an actor.
 
I know! You construct a weapon. Look around you, can you construct some sort of rudimentary lathe?

I know there are other ones I like, but those were the first that came to mind.
 
"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"

Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Valerie: I'm not a witch, I'm your wife.
